2012 Questionnaire

Instead of writing a long post on 2012 and all it involved, I thought it would be fun to play along with my 4th sister, Kelly at kellyskornerblog.blogspot.com.
1. What are you most thankful for?
My family and friends. This answer may sound rather textbook, but seriously, these are what make me get out of bed each day, push me onward when times are hard and the first I call when something amazing happens.

2. What were the highlights of 2012 for you?
Moving to Germany, finding out we were finally expecting again, a wee bit of traveling and spending some good quality time with my family this summer.

3. What are you hoping for in 2013?
Peace. Great adventures. New friends. Pregnancy/Adoption (wherever we are lead). Lots and lots of family time.

4. What were some of your favorites of 2012? (Clothes, movies, songs, TV shows, )
Gosh, I feel like I live in a bubble. I rarely saw any movies in 2012. I love Modern Family & The Amazing Race, Hart of Dixie, Private Practice, Grey's Anatomy.

5. Who was God to you in 2012?
Hmmm. God is always with me. I know that, but in 2012, he began awakening me to embrace change in my life. That is part of my plan for 2013. The plan to better myself and to become even more selfless in order to help others. 

Happy 2013 dear friends! 2012 was a year of happiness for us as well as immense sadness. That being said, I look forward to 2013 and what unfolds for our family.

Because Kara is going to make this blog into a book for our children someday, I have decided I to start posting comments as often as I can to her posts. When our children read this, I want them to know what Daddy was thinking... They will also get an opportunity to see how truly funny and cool their Daddy was/is. For 2013, I am not going to make resolutions. Instead, I am going to write down some goals I have for life in general. This plan comes from a book Kara got me for Christmas called "Entreleadership." Goals with specific timelines and objectives... 1.) lose 30 pounds by March 30, 2013. 2.) Visit at least 12 of the locations on our "places to see list" by the end of 2013. I'll have to think about the others. We have been moving for the last month and my brain is currently fried.

my workout playlist

I never dreamed I'd be listening/watching this when I worked out, but it is true. Here it is: photo courtesty of Laurieberkner.com I wouldn't have it any other way. My little healthy lifestyle journey is going well. I have exercised 7 days thus far which consists of treadmill activity and an ab workout every other day. I don't pressure myself to run everyday, but I have run 4 of the 7 days. I am quite proud of that. I have never been a runner or enjoyed running, but I have grown to like it. I used to say that I had exercise induced asthma! I think I did, but maybe I outgrew it? ha. Whatever the reason, I am finding it pretty easy to run and maintain a steady pace for no less than 20 minutes each time. Pretty impressive feat for a girl like me. Interestingly, I had planned to take today off, but didn't. I actually had the desire to run. Chris and I are both sticking to the eating plan as well. So far I am down about 4 pounds. Although 4 pounds is plenty, it ...

Pink Family

Chris and I are creatures of habit. We like what we like. When we find something especially wonderful, we tend to go a bit overboard. Case in point--Chinese restaurant in Minot, ND. We frequented it often at least a couple of times per week. This was basically THE place we went out to eat. The host actually started to say things like, "nice to see you AGAIN." We were rather embarrassed and fearful that his line would eventually become, "your usual table?" Thankfully we moved. Since coming to Korea, we've tried every Brazilian Steakhouse (there are 4 or 5), I deemed Ceia my favorite. It has the most delicious white rice with which I put this onion mixture on top and it is oh. so. yummy. We became frequent visitors--typically one night per week. We joked between ourselves that we were going to be greeted as we were dreading in Minot. It never happened, thankfully, but who knows what the staff actually said as they primarily spoke Korean :) Another quirk Chris an...

9 Months

      Claire is nine months old. She is such an active kid, always on the go. She no longer lays nicely when we change her diaper. It is quite the challenge. She is getting rather quick at crawling, so we have to move just as quickly to keep her out of where she doesn't belong--the fridge, cupboards, etc. Developmentally, she is right on track or maybe a bit advanced in our biased eyes. She crawls, pulls herself up, is beginning to move from one piece of furniture to another, mostly eats table food, and imitates us (both in the noises we make or actions--knocking on a door). When we hold her hands, she is beginning to take steps without much guidance. On Saturday, she made her first attempt to climb a step. Sadly, it ended with her sliding down. She has three teeth--two on the bottom, one on top with another coming in on top. Ten things we love about her: 1. her smile 2. her curiosity 3. the way she holds our hands or her own hands when she sleeps 4. her easy-goingness 5....
